1 Detailing the Evolution of Palliative Care: Creating a Timeline

2 Creating a Timeline: A Guide for Community Facilitators 1 Purpose The evolution of community based palliative care in First Nations communities is poorly documented in the literature. The five-year CIHR grant titled Improving End-of-Life Care in First Nations Communities: Generating a Theory of Change to Guide Program and Policy Development, is seeking to improve end-of-life care for First Nations communities. Through the methodology of participatory action research (PAR), four First Nations communities are partners in this project. Each of the four communities is unique in their culture, history, location and experiences in end-of-life care. The Canadian Constitution Act prescribes responsibility for the affairs of Indians on reserves to the federal government. As a result, the federal government provides funding for health care services to Indians on reserve through a variety of transfer agreements and programs. The administration of health services is left to the local First Nations community, creating a wide variation in how services are administered between different communities. Within these communities, although locally administered, planning for First Nations health care is contingent on federal health funding priorities. As a result, palliative care services are not essentially funded services for First Nations communities according to Health Canada policy. Thus, while First Nations community health teams may be providing palliative services to their members, there is no standard for palliative care service provision for First Nations communities across Canada. The result is a number of piecemeal services that come together to create unique systems of end-of-life care in each First Nations community. Given that there is no standardized measure of the provision of palliative care services in each of the four communities, the purpose of this research is to establish baseline data that details the historical development, current status, and future outlook of palliative care programming in each of the communities under the scope of the CIHR. Objective The main objective is to develop a time-line detailing the evolution of palliative care programming. Using five guiding themes to develop a time-line, specific objectives that this report will identify in each of the four First Nations Communities are: 1) Milestones (when key policy and practice events occurred), 2) Context (names and mandates of agencies and departments involved), 3) Concerns (established concerns and changes to programs over time), 4) Policies and Practices (relevant policies), 5) Outcomes (the impact of policies and practices over time). Each of these areas will be examined in greater detail with more specific questions and will create baseline data for comparing the status of palliative care programming in the four partner communities.

3 Creating a Timeline: A Guide for Community Facilitators 2 Methods The overall purpose is to establish baseline data on the development and provision of palliative care services in each of the four communities. To achieve this we will employ a qualitative comparative case study design. The case study design is suited for answering how and why of an ongoing phenomenon while keeping community context relevant. Given the localized nature of service provision throughout the partner communities, the comparative case study design is applicable. The explorative nature of this research is well suited for qualitative methods. To collect data, we will employ a key informant approach, utilizing the local Community Facilitator in each of the communities. The Community Facilitator will work with the lead contact and project advisory committee in each community to identify key informants and literature pertinent to the research question. Data collection methods will include key informant interviews with community members who have expertise in palliative care policy, administration, advocacy, and decision making, as well as a review of grey literature. Data collection will occur in a two stage process: 1) The facilitator will work with key informants to identify grey literature that is relevant to the research question; 2) The facilitator will employ interviews with key informants to obtain information to support and fill in the gaps of the grey literature. Each facilitator will have a standardized series of specific questions to guide the research. The questions will seek to identify: The historical development of palliative care programming, the current status of palliative care programming, and future considerations for palliative care programming. Each community facilitator will thematically analyze the data using the five guiding objectives. The Aboriginal research assistant based at CERAH will synthesize the four completed analyses. Validation of the synthesis will occur through peer review by the community facilitators. Implications/Outcomes The research seeks to provide baseline data on the provision of palliative care services in First Nations communities. With the First Nations Inuit Health Branch identifying palliative care services as supportive services, and not essentially funded, the provision of these services is left to the discretion of the specific First Nation community, with the result often being that palliative services are provided only if funding is remaining after essential services are funded. In reality, First Nations health services are stretching their resources to provide palliative services to sick and dying community members, resulting in services being provided in a piecemeal fashion through various departments

4 Creating a Timeline: A Guide for Community Facilitators 3 and agencies. In addition, palliative services are not provided equally to all First Nations people in all communities across Canada. Regardless of whether services are available, people will get ill in their communities, and also will want to return to their communities to die. Palliative care services are an essential need in First Nations. The primary outcome of this research is to inform health policy on how to better serve palliative care needs in First Nations communities by identifying gaps and overlaps in service provision, and to display the need for essentially funded palliative services. Additionally, this data will create baseline information that will allow our research and others to measure the development and progress of palliative care in First Nations over five years, and to compare and contrast this to the historical development of care in the communities. Areas of Investigation Based on the five objectives stated for developing a timeline, each of the following areas will be examined in greater detail, and will create baseline data for comparing the status of palliative care programming in the four partner communities. Community facilitators should be able to detail each of these areas following the review of literature and interviews with key informants. Identify: 1. The historical development of palliative care programming a. Identify how end-of-life care historically has been provided b. Detail the development of the home and community care program c. Identify key stakeholders (leaders and partnerships) 2. The current status of palliative care programming a. What is the current availability of palliative services and programs within the community b. Identify the funding and administrative structure of palliative services c. Identify key stakeholders currently advancing the palliative care agenda d. Examine community knowledge of palliative care e. Identify the administrative structure of palliative services f. Identify current partnerships in providing palliative services 3. Future considerations for palliative care programming a. Examine current vision for palliative care in the community.

5 Creating a Timeline: A Guide for Community Facilitators 4 Investigation Questions (Interviews and Literature Review) These questions are to be used as a guide to help answer specific details when examining grey literature (reports, documents, pamphlets, minutes, etc), and also as interview questions where grey literature does not contain the required information. Historical Development of Palliative Care: Historical Provision of End-of-Life Care 1. Prior to the home and community care program, how was the EOL care provided in the community? 2. Where did funding for the programs come from? 3. Who was involved (both formal and informal)? Leadership in Palliative Care 1.
